Name the following:
Weak electrostatic forces between the molecules of polar covalent compounds

Open in App

Solution

Polar compounds:
Polar compounds are the ones where the atoms which are bonded to one another have large electronegativity difference.
Due to this electronegativity difference, the electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge over it and the less electronegative atom acquires a partial positive charge over it.
Explanation:
A positive entity and a negative entity are attracted towards each other by a electrostatic force, which is called the intermolecular force of attraction in this case.
